Who has the time to study for these interviews when they have other companies to apply to and money doesn’t grow on trees? Also there’s a good chance you won’t get in. Is there any way to get into any of these companies without long application processes?
Study after work. Cracking the coding interview. If you spend a month studying after work you’ll do fine on the Comp Sci parts of the interview.
People who work hard.
You must be street stupid.
You are drinking the koolaid, isn't?
Yup just sit there, complain on Blind, and I'm sure you'll get in
Says the guy from Uber
Says the guy from "New" who can't make it to Uber
You have to think about it from the side of the recruiters and hiring committees, some department wants to fill 3 openings and there's a flood of applicants, a simple interview process is going to make the entire pool look the same
So basically catering towards the ones who can stay at home with parents after they graduate while they take their time to study. What privileged luck!
I wish I had that luxury. Just sit back and consider studying for Google to be your job while mommy makes you a sandwich.
Cute entitlement you got there. Don't worry, with that kind of attitude and personality, you need not concern yourself with getting in those companies. You won't.
It’s okay. You work at an internal shitshow of a company. I’m not even offended. The joke is on you.
Yeah, but I'm not the entitled beggar whining on blind. Maybe you'll get lucky and grow up one day. Maybe.
OP is a troll
And you work for Snapchat - a politics-driven company. Hope they don’t vomit you out sooner than later.
You're an immature child who can't make the cut and is crying about it being too hard. You're talking shit about the companies you applied to. I'm guessing just to make yourself feel better when you don't get in?
Amazon does not have a long interview loop compared to google
What do you mean? It's the same length, 5 45min-1hr onsite interviews + lunch (not an interview)
If that's what they mean by long, try linkedin - it's 6 rounds of 1 hour each, including 1 hour for lunch interview - 10 - 4 straight.
If you are performing well, Google pays a lot. I have seen L4 (4 levels below director) making 100k+ in rsu refreshers yearly, apart from salary and cash bonus and amazing benefits.
Any time you spend studying for interviews makes you a better engineer. And if you don’t get the job, it still makes you better at interviewing. The better you are at interviewing, the better jobs you’ll get.
It's a filter. High work/risk, high reward
What is the reward really? The big 4 companies hardly pay the most these days. Yes the perks are great but if you don't care much about perks it is useless. The work is highly team dependent and depends on your luck. You could end up doing shit work at any of these big 4 vs doing really awesome work at a random startup
Google 🤩🤪
